Few treatments for type 1 diabetes have been as elusive and long-promised as inhalable insulin. The concept has always sounded remarkable: Instead of jabbing themselves with needles, type 1s (and insulin-using type 2s) could take a quick puff on an inhaler to get a dose of insulin.
Exubera, a brand of inhalable insulin made by Pfizer, was briefly on sale in 2006 and 2007, before being withdrawn. But the MannKind Corporation hasn't let the past dampen its enthusiasm for the product's future. MannKind currently is working with a new type of inhalable insulin, called Afrezza.
